Oh, I'm so very alone 2005
Whaugh!
For the first time in Carly history, my Dad has left me alone with the house. It's wacky crazy. Of course comes the enivitable talk about what to do when he dies, that's always fun. Apparently Gail at the bank knows all. I wish I knew all. I think I do, but I suppose that statement alone kinda drops the wombat on that idea.
He had to leave to help with funeral arrangements for his aunt in Saskatchewan and although my brother does 'live at home' he really just sleeps here, and even that isn't a given. I think he came home last night, but I'm not too sure, and I wouldn't bet on it. Meanwhile I've learned a few things:
1. I have far too much energy. I don't know where it comes from. At Budget, I can go from 7am to 6pm without a break, even lunch, and no problem. I'll even go out to party afterwards without any negative effects. I can't understand it and I feel that if I try to, the magic might leave me. Being bored and having A WHOLE DAY OFF (!!!) I went second hand shopping and managed to furnish most of our basement. Oh, if anyone has a bed they don't need, please give me a shout. Dad did not leave me a credit card, and I don't think he'll let me get one, (we had the talk) so my furnishing budget it limited, but if anyone wants to come over and enjoy an awesome game of Duck Hunt on my 80's TV from the Brick, you are welcome to.
2. Movies aren't as funny alone. I tried to watch Shaun of the Dead last night, only to discover that it's not as funny without others, provided the 'others' also find British humour funny.
3. Houses make creepy sounds.
4. The speakers in the family room are quite literally loud enough to knock the pictures off the walls, and I now have a mess to clean up.
5. My family was nuts when they decided to pick colours for our house. Peach is NOT good.
Hey, that was short, and it was self-centered. Rad.
Well I hope you are all enjoying your respective summers, I mean you must be if you are all too busy to update your blogs. I'm just going to huddle in a corner until work, see y'all later.

You my dear, are keen. You remind me of some of the Military college drones that are stationed here for the summer.
They go to work early, why? I have no idea. They don't do anything, same as me, but they feel the need to come EARLY.
They get up AN HOUR before I do, yet only manage to make it to work 10 minutes earlier. I'm not sure what they do, but I assume it requires 50 minutes, so...maybe a game of bowling every morning? I have no idea.
They are keen and highly motivated, and apparently need less sleep than me. They always talk about "waking up early", who does that, seriously.
They have no reason to be keen, you however, do. You actually do stuff and make money by being awake more. They are hopeless automotons that will make great fodder. So, thankfully, you are the good kind of keen. I call it lazy keen, mull that over.
On being alone, enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, I'll move in. I don't mean to your house, I mean in your bedroom. Heck, we'll go to Ikea and pick up bunk beds, you can even have the top. After about 3 months of that, you will CHERISH every moment alone for a very long time. You will rue the day you every took being alone for a little while for granted.
Its good to have a credit card on hand, you never know when you're in Vegas, feel lucky, and NEED to bet a few g's on red.
i've replied to your other blogs as well, so don't forget to read those. I have been super busy with the gym and going to sporting events. Winnipegs go to sporting events even when their team has no hope in winning, its hard to resist going. I feel...almost compelled to go. I get tickets free sometimes, but I fork over money too. I will try to post more often, but I think I post more often then original coffee group anyway, barring you ofcourse. You're more the leader of the Coffee clan, and we bow before your awesomeness.
No wait, bet it on BLACK!
Try not to stay awake for too long without some sleep, you start seeing spiders that arn't there. Its fun at first, but becomes annoying when you "feel" them crawling all over you.
Remember, Spiders are not insects.

I try to stick with diet Coke, and I'm still only picking you up at four. There's THREE hours before the concert, that's enough time for even you to shower. Maybe Kim and I can test drive horsies while you get ready.
